the dude was snakebitten in pittsburgh, he got plenty of games in and plenty of chances, just never got the puck in the back of the net. this is probably his best chance to get some minutes and score some goals or at least establish some kind of a role. he should be a good front of the net guy and he fits the mold to be a power forward, he just hasnt found his scoring touch to go with it.

He’s not snake bitten he’s just horrible. He can’t skate to save his life and has cinder blocks for hands. He won’t ever pan out at the NHL level because the game is just too fast for him.

I always like Tangradi. Never really thought he got a legit shot in Pgh. It was almost always 4thliner 6-8 minutes a night. Even when he would finally get a chance on the top 2 lines it would be short lived for a shift or two. But after watching him a few times with the Jets getting better minutes he still doesn’t look any better.
He never seemed to be the same player after getting attacked with a flying elbow to the back of the head and then the attack continued while he was defenseless laying on the ice concussed from the worthless piece of trash,Trevor Gillies, a few years back on Long Island.

Why would you keep him on the top two lines when by the time he made it into the o-zone the puck was going the other way and vice versa? He was also never ready for any passes that were made to him that were even tap in goals cause he wouldn’t keep his stick on the ice.

i dont know how many times i was left shaking my head because of easy goals he found a way to screw up. i figured some of it was lack of confidence or just bad luck, but he was not short on opportunity
